MB0805 Outing to Sentosa

Blog Post by Kenny Lau Jia Xu & Gerard Darryl Minjoot (MB0805)

“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular!

After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.

The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.

By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.

Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Fun Points on the DPS Study Trip

Blog Post by Justin Soh (PS0701)

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now!

MINDS Carnival (4)

Blog Post by Hayden Yeo (MB0801)

I guess, this is a pretty late entry about the MINDS carnival held on the 10th Oct. Half of our class, MB 0801 had the opportunity to be in charge of the game stalls. We had so much fun making the games, decorating the stalls and of course not forgetting seeing the happy faces of the clients after they had played our games. Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn’t want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more.
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

Table Tennis Match

Blog Post by Esther Cai Jing Huan (FS0703)

Did you realize that our school TABLE TENNIS went for competition?

Events are not announced to the school unlike primary and secondary school times. Little achievements or much efforts put in are appreciated.

My friend and i went down to Toa Payoh Table Tennis Association to watch our NYP table tennis group playing in an open division.
There are wins and falls. You can FEEL the stress, especially when you have to compete individually.
